MEDFORIjTRIBU!fI Studs, Cuban Diamond Nine Tangle Tonight Baseball with a Spanish fla vor. That will be menu at the fair grounds ball park here this eve ning when the Medford Cheney Studs mix with the barnstorm ing Havana Cubans. Game time is 3 o'clock. The Cubans have names that fans may find hard to pro nounce, they give their signals orally in Spanish instead of ges turing and they are likely to burst out with a flood of Span ish lingo when action gets good and hot. Their verbosity may prove a bit irksome to the Studs but it should provide consider able entertainment for the spec tators. Not Lingo Alone The Havana gang doesn't rely on language alone, however. There is plenty of baseball abil ity on the squad and the spon soring Kansas City Monarchs feel there is major league timber in the crew. Advance information says the Cubans play baseball as it should be played. The Cubans reportedly have a wealth of speed, they are great fielders and have good throwing arms. If they get a well-pitched game here fans may see some fancy fielding and throwing. Advice of a team that has played the Cubans . numerous times is to "hit 'em where they ain't . . . for any time they get their hands on the ball they will throw you out." rV-taai years! M&0 J STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY 86 Proof With speedsters like Isauro Beltran, outfielder, the Cubans can be expected to utilize steal and hit-and-run tactics. For just plain hitting there is Francisco Herrera, an outfielder, too, who smacks the ball as if he wanted to send it all the way to Cuba. The Cubans have been ranked with the top traveling teams and rated capable of meeting the best on the road. "They will convince you of their class on the field," it is said. Manager Housier Hoffard of the Studs probably will send Clarence Mellbye to the pitch ing mound tonight. Estey Ousts Lees in City Golf Tourney Portland (U.R) The field of golfers still left in the Portland city golf championships was down to four Friday as Dick Estey, Bob Atkinson, Ben Hughes and Gene Maidment, all of Portland, go into the semi finals on the Eastmoreland course. Defending Champion Bill Lees, Portland, was eliminated Thursday by Estey of Columbia Edgewater 1 up in a contest not decided until the last stroke. Atkinson got rid of Ralph Dichter of Astoria, 2 . and 1 by playing two-under-par golf with two birdies and an eagle three on the tenth hole. Hughes reached the semis by downing Roger Barendrick of Portland 4 and 3 with five bird ies and by bettering par by two strokes on 15 holes. Mrs. Herron Upset Maidment turned in the best card of the day with three under par as he squashed Walt Mc Guire, Portland, 5 and 3. In the women's division, the galleries saw one of the most startling upsets in the history of the tourney. The upset came when Mrs. Jack Laing of Portland held four under par and carded six birdies to eliminate Defending Champion Mrs. J. C. Herron. Mrs. Laing is playing only her third year of competitive golf. Others in the women's semi finals will be Mrs. Naomi Kidd, who defeated Mrs. Arne Ber nard, 3 and 2; and Mrs. Richard Grubbs, who toppled Mrs. Jack Glaser, 5 and 3. All are from Portland.

And he also has a chance to stretch his team's win streak to eight in a row. He's Johnny Lindell, the Pa cific Coast leagu'e'-winningest pitcher. A former Yankee, Lin dell has had major loop experi ence both on the hill and in the outfield. So impressive has he been for the Stars this season, he is con sidered salable to a pennant con tender in the race for the world series. ' Divide Honors Two of Lindell's mates, Red Hunger and Jim Walsh, divided a four-hitter last night to beat San Diego, 2-1, before more than 9,000 fans. Munger. again re-m- jured a shoulder muscle in the fourth inning and left the game. Carlos Bernier, a $3,500 steal who is making the league bar gain conscious, stroked home the tally that gave Hollywood its seventh in a row. Oakland kept a game off the pace by downing Seattle, 7-3. John Van Cuyk's superb relief pitching got the victory for start er Lloyd Hittle. Van Cuyk al lowed one hit in four innings and fanned the side in the ninth. Triple Aide Oakland's big blow was Hank Schenz' triple with the bags full in the sixth. Johnny Ostrowski had four for five.' And Sammy Chapman, a former AU-Ameri-can footballer and ex - major league star, rapped out three, one a double. Los Angeles and Portland split, the Bevos winning the short opener, 4-2, and the Angels taking the nightcap, 5-2. And. before. 509 fans, San Francisco won its third straight from Sac ramento, 7-2. Lefty Joe Hatten, who work ed such a beautiful four-hitter in winning Tuesday, threw one pitch to Joe Brovia and got the Angel loss. Brovia tapped the pitch for a bloop single and batted in Frank Austin. No Runs Earned Bull-neck Marino Pieretti, who was in hot water with manager Clay Hopper recently, allowed five hits and no earned runs in getting the decision. The Angels took the nightcap because Portland pitcher Red Adams was wild. Adams would Dillard Winks Befor Race With Lady Star Helsinki (U.R) Fanny Blank ers Koen. Holland's famous wo man track star, defeated United States star hurdler Harrison Dil lard in a special match race Thursday but there were couple of hitches. First, the distance was only 22 vards. And" second, Dillard winked at reporters when Mrs Koen challenged him to the race anri remarked.- "Never bet against a lady."

The margin was sufficient for Bill Bradford but when he showed signs of getting into a jam in the ninth, Bob Muncrief strolled from the bullpen to retire three men and end the game.
